WARSAW (Reuters) - A man was bruised but alive on Wednesday after a Saint Bernard dog thrown out a two-story window landed on him as he was walking down the street in the southern-Polish city of Sosnowiec.
The 110-pound dog was pushed out of the window by its drunken owner Monday, police said.
"The dog had a soft landing because it fell on a man," said police spokesman Grzegorz Wierzbicki. "The dog escaped with just a few scratches."
"The man was also more in a psychological state of shock than physically hurt," Wierzbicki added.
The one-year-old dog, named Oskar, was placed in an animal shelter while police investigate its owners for animal abuse.
Did anyone mention if is was raining cats and dogs at the time?
Seriously, though, humanity boggles my mind sometimes... so many people out there having kids and getting animals because they need to be loved so much, and then not having the skills, pass on their pathetic inability to be anything but mean to the next generation of kids and animals. Karma keeps me sane.
